Mercedes-Benz is bringing a game changer based on the immensely popular E-class in the mid-size luxury segment in India. The E class contributes to more than 30% of Mercedes-Benz sales in India and there’s no doubt that it is the most important model for the three-pointed star in India and worldwide.

India will be the first country to get the right-hand drive version of the E-class LWB. To keep the cost under control, Mercedes-Benz is manufacturing the car at their Chakkan plant in Pune. The car comes in both petrol and diesel versions:

E200 Petrol: 1991 CC, 182 hp and 300 Nm

E350 Diesel: 2987 CC, 255 hp and 620 Nm

Mercedes-Benz will withdraw the standard variant to prevent in-house competition. For a quick reference, the LWB version has 140 mm and 205 mm more wheelbase and overall length respectively.

Aided with Air Body Control, the car uses adaptive dampers to give superior ride comfort on rough and bad roads; Mercedes-Benz has fine-tuned it for very good handling. More wheelbase has solely been utilized for improving the space at the rear; the LWB has an impressive 50% more cabin room at the rear than the standard model and it also gets a large panoramic sunroof. The rear seats, obviously are luxurious and large with more than enough back and thigh support and loads of legroom. The seats are also reclinable.
